Cotton Comes to Harlem was the beginning of short period in American film that featured black actors in leading roles and the themes dealt with issues from the African-American microcosm. With a screenplay by Arnold Perl and Ossie Davis, and directed by Davis this action drama represents the black prospective. Much of the film’s humor is urban black comedy, which was groundbreaking in 1970.

Based on the Chester Himes novel, the film chronicles the exploits of Gravedigger Jones (Godfrey Cambridge) and Coffin Ed Johnson (Raymond St. Jacques) two tough New York City police detectives. Reverend Deke O’Mailey (Calvin Lockhart) is ripping of the community selling trips back to Africa. When the money is stolen in a daring daytime robbery Gravedigger and Coffin Ed are in pursuit of the money, killers and the reverend.

In our montage we call, Iris, Officer Jarema and The Paper Bag, Gravedigger and Coffin Ed confront O’Mailey’s girlfriend Iris Brown (Judy Pace) at her apartment, and then leave Officer Jerema (Dick Sabol) to guard Iris. Unlike much of the sixties years of filmmaking that preceded Cotton Comes to Harlem aCaucasian character is depicted as a buffoon. We begin this scene with part of the opening credits because it was shot on 125 street. You can see what Harlem’s most famous street looked like circa 1970 (the Northwest corner of 125 Street and Lenox Avenue and the South side of 125 Street off Frederick Douglas Blvd. moving east across from the Apollo Theater).

Iris, Officer Jarema and The Paper Bag

Unfortunately within a few years Hollywood tried to cash in on the box office success of films like Cotton Comes to Harlem (1970), Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song (1971), Shaft (1971),and Superfly (1972). They produced a series of lower quality movies with hot soundtracks geared for urban audiences. These films became known as Blaxploitation films and as the quality waned so did their popularity. Hollywood completely missed the message of Cotton Comes to Harlem by assuming that African-American audiences wanted shoot-em-up action flicks with black super-heroes. In a nutshell, black audiences wanted the same thing white audiences wanted, good movies.

Today’s Events

Maren Hassinger: MonumentsMaren Hassinger: MonumentsTime: 6:00 am - 10:00 pmMaren Hassinger: Monuments consists of eight site-specific sculptures installed for approximately one year (through June 10, 2019) in Marcus Garvey Park (Madison Avenue between 120th and 124th Streets), beginning in June 2018. Hassinger, who has been associated with the Studio Museum since 1984, is a Harlem-based multidisciplinary artist whose work, spanning performance, installation, sculpture, and video, are often meditations on nature and community. Working in the tradition of her earlier projects such as Wreath (1979), Hassinger uses branches to create forms that respond to aspects of the park’s landscape—an outcropping of rock, a triangle near flower beds, an oval near the pool. The artist created the works with the assistance of volunteers from the Studio Museum’s Teen Leadership Council and Expanding the Walls program, so that Monuments is a project made in Harlem and for Harlem.

Judson Dance Theater: The Work Is Never Done at MoMAJudson Dance Theater: The Work Is Never Done at MoMATime: 10:00 am - 6:00 pmJudson Dance Theater: The Work Is Never Done at The Museum of Modern Art (through February 3, 2019) in the Donald B. and Catherine C. Marron Atrium is organized into multiple-week segments, each of which focuses on the work of one artist: Yvonne Rainer, Deborah Hay, David Gordon, Lucinda Childs, Steve Paxton and Trisha Brown. Additionally, a video installation edited by the artist Charles Atlas and related to the work of the choreographers featured in the performance program will be on view. Including footage of both individual and group pieces made during the Judson era and after, Atlas’s installation emphasizes the relationship of the soloist to the ensemble and shows how Judson influenced the later careers of these artists. In the final weeks of the exhibition, Movement Research, an organization with a direct lineage to Judson, will hold classes and workshops.

The Jim Henson ExhibitionThe Jim Henson ExhibitionTime: 10:00 am - 6:00 pmThe Jim Henson Exhibition features a broad range of objects from throughout his remarkable career. It reveals how Henson and his team of builders, performers, and writers brought to life the enduringly popular worlds of The Muppet Show, the Muppet movies, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, The Dark Crystal, and Labyrinth. It also includes material from Henson’s experimental film projects and his early work, presenting him as a restlessly creative performer, filmmaker, and technical innovator. This is an ongoing exhibit at the Museum of the Moving Image.

Constantin Brancusi Sculpture: The Films at MoMAConstantin Brancusi Sculpture: The Films at MoMATime: 10:00 am - 6:00 pmConstantin Brancusi Sculpture: The Films at the Museum of Modern Art (through Feb. 18) celebrates MoMA’s extraordinary holdings—11 sculptures by Brancusi will be shown together for the first time, alongside drawings, photographs, and films. A selection of never-before-seen archival materials shed light on his relationships with friends, sitters, and patrons, including this Museum. What emerges is a rich portrait of an artist whose risk-taking and inventive approach to form changed the course of the art that followed.

Firelei Báez: Joy Out of Fire at the Studio Museum HarlemFirelei Báez: Joy Out of Fire at the Studio Museum HarlemTime: 10:00 am - 6:00 pmFirelei Báez continues the artist’s longstanding interest in representations of women, particularly Afro-Caribbean/Afro-Latina women in visual culture and history.

Maren Hassinger: MonumentsMaren Hassinger: MonumentsTime: 6:00 am - 10:00 pmMaren Hassinger: Monuments consists of eight site-specific sculptures installed for approximately one year (through June 10, 2019) in Marcus Garvey Park (Madison Avenue between 120th and 124th Streets), beginning in June 2018. Hassinger, who has been associated with the Studio Museum since 1984, is a Harlem-based multidisciplinary artist whose work, spanning performance, installation, sculpture, and video, are often meditations on nature and community. Working in the tradition of her earlier projects such as Wreath (1979), Hassinger uses branches to create forms that respond to aspects of the park’s landscape—an outcropping of rock, a triangle near flower beds, an oval near the pool. The artist created the works with the assistance of volunteers from the Studio Museum’s Teen Leadership Council and Expanding the Walls program, so that Monuments is a project made in Harlem and for Harlem.

What’s Happening Today

Maren Hassinger: MonumentsMaren Hassinger: MonumentsTime: 6:00 am - 10:00 pmMaren Hassinger: Monuments consists of eight site-specific sculptures installed for approximately one year (through June 10, 2019) in Marcus Garvey Park (Madison Avenue between 120th and 124th Streets), beginning in June 2018. Hassinger, who has been associated with the Studio Museum since 1984, is a Harlem-based multidisciplinary artist whose work, spanning performance, installation, sculpture, and video, are often meditations on nature and community. Working in the tradition of her earlier projects such as Wreath (1979), Hassinger uses branches to create forms that respond to aspects of the park’s landscape—an outcropping of rock, a triangle near flower beds, an oval near the pool. The artist created the works with the assistance of volunteers from the Studio Museum’s Teen Leadership Council and Expanding the Walls program, so that Monuments is a project made in Harlem and for Harlem.

Judson Dance Theater: The Work Is Never Done at MoMAJudson Dance Theater: The Work Is Never Done at MoMATime: 10:00 am - 6:00 pmJudson Dance Theater: The Work Is Never Done at The Museum of Modern Art (through February 3, 2019) in the Donald B. and Catherine C. Marron Atrium is organized into multiple-week segments, each of which focuses on the work of one artist: Yvonne Rainer, Deborah Hay, David Gordon, Lucinda Childs, Steve Paxton and Trisha Brown. Additionally, a video installation edited by the artist Charles Atlas and related to the work of the choreographers featured in the performance program will be on view. Including footage of both individual and group pieces made during the Judson era and after, Atlas’s installation emphasizes the relationship of the soloist to the ensemble and shows how Judson influenced the later careers of these artists. In the final weeks of the exhibition, Movement Research, an organization with a direct lineage to Judson, will hold classes and workshops.

The Jim Henson ExhibitionThe Jim Henson ExhibitionTime: 10:00 am - 6:00 pmThe Jim Henson Exhibition features a broad range of objects from throughout his remarkable career. It reveals how Henson and his team of builders, performers, and writers brought to life the enduringly popular worlds of The Muppet Show, the Muppet movies, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, The Dark Crystal, and Labyrinth. It also includes material from Henson’s experimental film projects and his early work, presenting him as a restlessly creative performer, filmmaker, and technical innovator. This is an ongoing exhibit at the Museum of the Moving Image.

Constantin Brancusi Sculpture: The Films at MoMAConstantin Brancusi Sculpture: The Films at MoMATime: 10:00 am - 6:00 pmConstantin Brancusi Sculpture: The Films at the Museum of Modern Art (through Feb. 18) celebrates MoMA’s extraordinary holdings—11 sculptures by Brancusi will be shown together for the first time, alongside drawings, photographs, and films. A selection of never-before-seen archival materials shed light on his relationships with friends, sitters, and patrons, including this Museum. What emerges is a rich portrait of an artist whose risk-taking and inventive approach to form changed the course of the art that followed.

Firelei Báez: Joy Out of Fire at the Studio Museum HarlemFirelei Báez: Joy Out of Fire at the Studio Museum HarlemTime: 10:00 am - 6:00 pmFirelei Báez continues the artist’s longstanding interest in representations of women, particularly Afro-Caribbean/Afro-Latina women in visual culture and history. In this exhibition, Báez features women whose legacies are preserved and maintained by the archives of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, reimagining them in conversation through imaginative portraits that incorporate materials such as reproductions of archival photographs, notes, diaries, letters, and manuscripts.

Twyla Tharp Dance: Minimalism and MeTwyla Tharp Dance: Minimalism and MeTime: 8:00 pm - 10:00 pmAt the Joyce Theater 175 Eighth Ave at 19th Street. Dance titan Tharp gets small in a retrospective devoted to the influence of minimalism on some of the seminal pieces she created from 1965 to 1971.

Maren Hassinger: MonumentsMaren Hassinger: MonumentsTime: 6:00 am - 10:00 pmMaren Hassinger: Monuments consists of eight site-specific sculptures installed for approximately one year (through June 10, 2019) in Marcus Garvey Park (Madison Avenue between 120th and 124th Streets), beginning in June 2018. Hassinger, who has been associated with the Studio Museum since 1984, is a Harlem-based multidisciplinary artist whose work, spanning performance, installation, sculpture, and video, are often meditations on nature and community. Working in the tradition of her earlier projects such as Wreath (1979), Hassinger uses branches to create forms that respond to aspects of the park’s landscape—an outcropping of rock, a triangle near flower beds, an oval near the pool. The artist created the works with the assistance of volunteers from the Studio Museum’s Teen Leadership Council and Expanding the Walls program, so that Monuments is a project made in Harlem and for Harlem.

Judson Dance Theater: The Work Is Never Done at MoMAJudson Dance Theater: The Work Is Never Done at MoMATime: 10:00 am - 6:00 pmJudson Dance Theater: The Work Is Never Done at The Museum of Modern Art (through February 3, 2019) in the Donald B. and Catherine C. Marron Atrium is organized into multiple-week segments, each of which focuses on the work of one artist: Yvonne Rainer, Deborah Hay, David Gordon, Lucinda Childs, Steve Paxton and Trisha Brown. Additionally, a video installation edited by the artist Charles Atlas and related to the work of the choreographers featured in the performance program will be on view. Including footage of both individual and group pieces made during the Judson era and after, Atlas’s installation emphasizes the relationship of the soloist to the ensemble and shows how Judson influenced the later careers of these artists. In the final weeks of the exhibition, Movement Research, an organization with a direct lineage to Judson, will hold classes and workshops.

A selection of never-before-seen archival materials shed light on his relationships with friends, sitters, and patrons, including this Museum. What emerges is a rich portrait of an artist whose risk-taking and inventive approach to form changed the course of the art that followed.
